The media’s relentless pursuit of a narrative that damages conservatives reaches dizzying new heights in the aftermath of the tragic murder of Laken Riley. This unfortunate incident, which has elicited genuine sorrow and outrage, has now become a pawn in the left’s ongoing game of political chess. Just when one might think the mainstream media would grapple with their failures to hold the current administration accountable, they have chosen instead to grasp for straws, implicating Donald Trump in a crime that occurred long after his presidency ended.
Laken Riley was senselessly murdered by an illegal immigrant, Jose Ibarra, with reported ties to a violent gang, a situation made all the more egregious by the fact that it could have been prevented. In a striking display of misplaced priorities, Ibarra was granted passage to the U.S. through a program set up by the Biden administration, which has effectively turned a blind eye to the consequences of unregulated immigration. This tragedy highlights the failure of the current leadership to protect American citizens, not that anyone in the media seems interested in discussing that.
Minutes after the illegal scum who killed Laken Riley was sentenced, Fake News hack @IkeEjiochi was on ABC blaming President Trump.

Instead of examining the broader implications of this case—such as the moral and legal responsibilities of the Biden administration in allowing criminals like Ibarra to roam freely—ABC News employs a tired tactic straight out of the left’s playbook: blame Trump. By insinuating that Trump’s policies were somehow responsible for Ibarra’s presence in the U.S., the media has showcased its talent for twisting reality. It’s a remarkable feat of mental gymnastics that requires willful blindness to facts and a disregard for accountability towards those currently in power.
The blatant hypocrisy is staggering. The same media outlets claiming to champion justice are instead enabling an administration that has opened the floodgates to illegal immigration. The suggestion that Trump’s absence since January 2021 could somehow play a role in this specific crime is not only ludicrous but serves to divert attention from the true culprits. Ibarra’s illegal status and violent history should be the main focus, yet outlets like ABC would rather spin the narrative to fit their ideological agenda.
Donald Trump, well aware of the political games being played, continues to stress the urgency of securing the border and preventing tragedies like Laken Riley’s murder from occurring again. His statement following the verdict reinforces the idea that responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of those currently in control—a sentiment that resonates with a public tired of political theater that only serves to distract from real issues affecting everyday Americans.
It is clear that in this age of media manipulation, tragedies are not merely mishaps to be mourned; they are opportunities for the left to further their agendas, even at the expense of the truth. Laken Riley’s death was a horrific reminder of the consequences of lax immigration policies, and yet, instead of confronting these failures, the media chooses to blame a former president as a tactic to shield the current administration from rightful scrutiny. The tragedy of Laken Riley is not just a personal loss for her family; it is a direct indictment of policies that prioritize political correctness over public safety.
